My Mailman Probably Thinks I'm Crazy

It started like any other day. Until I went to the mailbox.
Shoved into the box, amid my usual mail, was this............



It kind of took me by surprise and I couldn't imagine what it was.
Scenes from the Godfather flashed through my head. Did I make someone in the "family" mad? Did I refuse an offer that I shouldn't have?

After I regained my composure, I remembered an order that I had place a few weeks ago.


I quickly cut through the black plastic and tape to find this...........
















Yes, knitters have been known to occasionally mail order body parts. But it is only to showcase our creations!



I'll be needing this foot for a class that I will be teaching at the Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Festival - March 15th, 16th and 17th. Sock Architecture will cover everything you need to know about knitting socks.
I will also be teaching two other classes, Shapely Short Rows and How to Publish Your Designs and Patterns.
The festival is a wonderful way to learn new skills, see new trends in knitting and crochet and do a bit a lot of shopping at the market.
I hope to see you there!!!

For more information about these classes and others, in addition to the market and all other activities, check out the Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Website.

Stitch Red

 

I just received an e-mail newsletter from Classic Elite Yarns.  They are participating in an initiative called Stitch Red.  Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States.  While one in thirty women will die from breast cancer, one in four will die from heart disease.  Please visit the Stitch Red website:  http://www.stitchred.com/.  By purchasing yarn, patterns and products from the participating partners, you will be supporting the awareness campaign of this group.  

Show your support by knitting something red!  Classic Elite Yarns is offering a free e-book with 4 beautiful patterns all worked in their red yarns.  

 
I've done the little lace Camellia shawl and it so fun to knit. You can download the e-book patterns here:  http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Web-Letter-245-Stitch-Red-eBook--four-free-patterns-from-Classic-Elite-Yarns.html?soid=1100563279288&aid=6CisuHdsUk0

So knit something red as a reminder to take care of yourself and your heart!
